[RFC PATCH 10/11] 9p: Pin pages rather than ref'ing if appropriate

From: David Howells
Date: Fri Jun 30 2023 - 11:28:34 EST


Convert the 9p filesystem to use iov_iter_extract_pages() instead of
iov_iter_get_pages(). This will pin pages or leave them unaltered rather
than getting a ref on them as appropriate to the iterator.

The pages need to be pinned for DIO-read rather than having refs taken on
them to prevent VM copy-on-write from malfunctioning during a concurrent
fork() (the result of the I/O would otherwise end up only visible to the
child process and not the parent).
